Today was an absolutely awesome performance, not without it's flaws, but for now a result like that will do!  Peacock looked tremendous when he came on and really up for it.  His goal was typical of what he did for the rest of the time he was on the pitch - gritty, stuck in, ready to get muddy as well as showing some very good touches.

Likewise, Cureton was ace today, although not as good at reading Fallon's flick-ons as Peacock, and obviously a lot less physical.  His goal was well-taken although really should have had at least another.

Fallon on the other hand was lazy, largely ineffective, but his goal was invaluable and much needed.  Had we not won today, relegation would have been looming.

Which two would you play?  On today's showing I'd fancy Peacock and Curo, as I think Fallon needs a kick up the arse today.

Hhmm difficult.

All 3 caused Bournemouth problems, Id probably stick with Fallon and Cureton (even though I dont want to) because Peacock probably isnt a 100% match fit plus he had a big impact from off the bench...

I'd say its hard to drop Fallon though.
Although he can be lazy at times, he is always a threat if the ball goes into the box as proven today

Peacock could be though....was just a bit unlucky with his calamity today.

Fallon was very lazy today but proved at least a couple of times why he should start against sarfend.

Bring the cock on mid way through the second half.

All this"lazy"talk about Fallon,I dont buy.Against Gillingham he worked his bollocks off-every chance we created was down to him,although by no means asinine, he does plenty of donkey work.

It's not that easy, being a target man and expected to score regularly as well. He is brilliant at flick ons and chest downs, unlike all the others tried up front this season. This was a large part of the win today IMO, he was always a handful, as he always is.

That's my general feeling. None of us really know how Peacock plays, and I think Fallon does not get enough credit for the work he does with his back to goal.
Not only does he get the flick ons but he often takes the ball down and lys it off for a midfielder and play can be built from there.

I would just be worried that by removing Fallon we would lose that link play
